To all whom itmay concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH KRAKAUER, a subject of the Czar of Russia, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Ice- Pitcher, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to ice-pitchers and analogous vessels, my more particular object being to provide the body portion of the vessel with a compartment distinct from that used for holding the fluid contents of the vessel, this compartment being for the purpose of holding ice out of contact with the ordinary contents.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pitcher made according to my invention, and Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section through the same.

The body portion of the pitcheris shown at 3 and the handle at 4. The liquidsuch, for

' instance, as wine-is shown at 5. A pocket 6 for holding ice 7 is integrally connected with the body portion at a point sli "htly below the lower end of the handle 4. he pocket projects forwardly and downwardly and is otherwise so positioned that when the pitcher is tilted in the usual manner for the purpose of pouring out the ordinary contents the ice 7, together with any water admixed therewith, is careened forward, and thus prevented from leaving the pocket. In other words, when the pitcher is filled for the purpose of pouring out Wine or the like it is impossible to pour out ice or an admixture of ice and water.

One object of my invention is that the ice 7 in melting, thereby forming water, is unable to dilute the liquid 5 to any extent whatever, so that the liquid maintains its proper degree of strength, even if kept cool by means of ice, several days at a time.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent In a pitcher or the like, a liquid-holding receptacle having a pouring-lip, an integral iceholding pocket formedwithin the same and situated so as to be surrounded by the liquid, said pocket having a contracted opening on the exterior wall of the pitcher at a point opposite said pouring-lip, and being inclined forwardly and downwardly, whereby the ice is retained therein.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
